Dybala Not Close To Leaving Juventus
Paulo Dybala is no closer to leaving Juventus, according to the club’s chief football officer, Fabio Paratici.
Dybala was linked with Manchester United and Tottenham before the Premier League’s transfer window closed last week.
A move did not materialise, and Dybala instead reported for pre-season training in Turin, with the forward scoring twice in Wednesday’s traditional warm-up friendly with the Juve Primavera side.
A switch to Inter has also been mooted, with that deal potentially seeing Mauro Icardi, who is out of favour at San Siro, joining the Serie A champions in return.
However, Paratici told Sky Sport Italia there has not been much progress on Dybala’s future, or that of any other Juve players.
“The market is open and there is interest, but there are no names closer to a sale,” he said.
“[Dybala] is a Juve player – indeed, he is a great Juve player. As I said, during the transfer market, there are discussions and negotiations.”
He added on Icardi: “Right now he’s an Inter player and we don’t talk about him. We have [Gonzalo] Higuain and [Mario] Mandzukic who are great attackers: I wouldn’t talk about others, but about ours. We are happy with those we have.”
